10．If you want to keep healthy，you should have good habits．What is a habit？It is something we do very often．We don't even think when we do it．It has become a part of our lives．
"Early to bed，early to rise makes a man healthy，wealthy and wise．"This is an old English saying．Do you know what it means？It means that we must go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning．If we do，we shall be healthy，rich and clever．
Is this true？Perhaps it is．We know the body must have enough sleep．Boys and girls need eight or nine hours'sleep every day．
Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning．This is a very bad habit．Then you will not think or do your work well．Of course，you can't be healthy，wealthy or wise．
When we get up early in the morning，we can go out and do morning exercises．Exercise means doing things with the body．Walking，running jumping，swimming，and playing ball games are all exercise．If we don't exercise，our body will become weak．
Exercise helps the blood to move around inside our body．Blood takes food to all parts of our body．
Our body also needs air to breathe．Without air，we will die．We must have lots of clean fresh air if we want to be healthy．That is why many people like to go out to do morning exercises．

9．Over the past decade，there have been many scientific studies on the digital activity of people，such as making mobile calls，texting，e-mailing，and posting on social media．Nearly all human behavior leaves a digital footprint．Therefore，scientists can use such digital activity as a way to track human activity．For example，they can study differences between cultures in sleep patterns，work schedules，and spare time activities．
Researchers from Finland and Denmark use a completely new approach to study digital rhythms．Previous studies focused on general patterns across large numbers of people．However，this time researchers focus on pronounced，long-term differences in rhythm between individuals．They show that people tend to have their personal rhythm of digital activity．It is stable like a personal signature．
"Each individual follows their own daily rhythm，"says Talayeh，who led the research．"In almost every case，the patterns differ strongly from the average behavior，for example by increased calling frequency during mornings，mid-days，or evenings，"says Talayeh．What drives these individual differences is not yet clear．Geographical and cultural differences clearly play a role．"There could also be an effect of physiology（生理学）．We see this research as the first step to understand how activity patterns are related to other people's characteristics，such as personality and mobility behavior，"says Talayeh．
This finding could also have medical use．Digital rhythms could be monitored for patients with mental health problems．Sudden changes in patients'digital rhythms could be a sign that treatment may be necessary．"Combining this research with Big Data may also bring new ways of research in sleep studies，"concludes Talayeh．

32．What do scientists use the digital activity of people to do？B
A．To make their research easier．
B．To know about people's behavior．
C．To aid the development of social media．
D．To reduce people's dependence on mobile phones．
33．Which of the following can best describe digital rhythms？B
A．Natural but casual．
B．Personal and fixed．
C．Differnet but unclear．
D．Changeable and mysterious．
34．According to Talayeh，digital rhythmsC．
A．have nothing to do with personality
B．have a great effect on everyday habits
C．may have something to do with culture
D．can help the development of physiology
35．What is the use of rhythms in the medical field？D
A．They can help avoid patients'sleep problems．
B．They will change the ways doctors do their work．
C．They could free people of mental problems．
D．They may tell whether a patient is well．

8．Your next car could have two seats，three wheels-two in front and one in the back and a top speed of more than 100miles per hour．Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car named the Elio．Its two seats sit front and back instead of side by side．The driver is positioned in the center with the passenger directly behind．
The starting price for the car is just﹩6，800．It has only one door，on the left side，which cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs．Having three wheels also makes it cheaper．It has air conditioning，power windows and door locks and an AM/FM radio．More features can be ordered through Elio's long list of suppliers．Elio will also sell the cars directly through its own stores and not through franchised dealers （特约经销商）．
Paul Elio dreamed as a kid that he would one day own a car company called Elio Motors．In 2008，tired of high gas prices，he started working on a car that burns gas in a more effective way．Equally important to him was creating U．S．manufacturing jobs and making the car inexpensive enough to attract buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old，unreliable cars．"Whatever matters to you，this can  move the needle on it，"he said．
Already，more than 27，000people have reserved one．Paul hopes to make 250，000cars a year by 2016．So far，reservation holders are those who will use the Elio as a second car or third car for work．Finally，though，he believes the car will interest high school and college students as well as used-car drivers who want something newer and more reliable．

24．Which of the following shows the design of the Elio？C

25．Paragraph 2shows that the ElioA．
A．is sold at affordable prices

26．The underlined words"move the needle"in Paragraph 3probably mean"D"．
A．take a chance
B．stand in the way
C．break into pieces
D．make a difference
27．What would be the best title for the text？B
A．The history of Elio Motors
B．Cool and practical vehicle
C．Paul Elio：a kid with big dreams
D．What car to choose：new or used？
